Subject: [Nfbnet-members-list] Participants needed for research survey on
games for blind and low-vision children

The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has no
involvement in this research, but we believe that it may contribute to our
research mission.



Attention blind and low vision adults experienced in playing board and card
games, experts regarding games for the visually impaired or the development
of the cognitive functions of the blind, blind educators, and experts with
knowledge of/experience with memory games.


I am Amy Ritter, a high school senior at Quince Orchard High School in
Gaithersburg, Maryland who is conducting a survey titled, "Games for
Visually-Impaired Children," for my approved class project in Engineering
Design and Development. My team and I want to eventually create a fun and
engaging game for visually impaired children aged 5-10 that will help them
develop cognitive functions such as memory skills. Our team will use this
information with the engineering design process to design a real product
that can be used in classrooms or at home. Since our target audience is
visually impaired children, we need to know what features can be accessible
for them. We are advocating the improvement of the children's cognitive
skills so that they can use these skills independently later in life.


If you are interested in participating, and at least 18 years of age, please
go to this link:

however, your cooperation is much appreciated. If you have any questions,
feel free to contact me at my email:

time!
